KEIN08HA, WISCONSIN. 1^3^ 

Kenosha. Wis., is a i)()oniiii.L;- iiiaiiiifactnriiig city of about 13,000 
inli.-iliitauts. situated on Lal<e .Mieliiyiin, uiid-way l)et\veeu Cliieago 
and .Mihvaulcee on one of tlie ni;iiu lines of the Chicago & Northwestern 
Railroad and the Milwaulcee, Kacine ;uid Kenosha Electric Road. 

The Kenoslia harlior h;is in;iny natural a<lvantages which are rap- 
idly being utilized as tlie increasing liusiness of the manufacturers 
demand. Tlie government li;iving appropriated !flUO,0(JO for improve- 
ments, Kenosh.-i will soon t)e the possessor of one of the hnest harbors 
on the (Ji'eat Lakes. With this added increase in the size of the harbor, 
the largest lake ste;nuers will lie aide to I'Uter with the greatest facility. 

The sanitary conditions of Kenosha are perfect. This fact is 
beconung more generally known as is evinced by tlie increased visit- 
ing population which is 1o be found here each summer. 

The large spreading trees which abound on all the tliroroughfares 
of Kenosha have Justly claimed for her the title of "Pafk ('ity." 
Throughout the entire city may be found the most e.Kcellent of homes. 
Flower lieds in abundance lend encli.-iiitiiicnt to a scene of quiet which 
malves Kenosha an ideal resort. 

Among the m:inul'acturics of I\enosli;i may be found some of the 
largest in the world. The lai'gest concerns ;ire as fcdlows: Simmons 
.Mainifactnring Co.. .\. R. .Mien Sons, R.-iiu \\'agdn Co., Sterling

Kenosha is iibundautly suiii)lie(l with churches and schools, of 
which we have jiroduced jihotos in this work. It is impossible to do 
Justice to Keiiosli;i in this little volume, but the ;ibove and following

Kenosba €oumy in the mar of 



The population of Kenosha County, according to the census talieu 
in ISCO was 13 900, and a conservative estimate taken from the records 
show tliat Kenosha County furnished between ten and eleven hundred 
men in the different or.ffanizations furnished by the State, consisting of 
cavalry, infantry, light and heavy artillery. These were mostly as- 
signed" to the following regiments: 

The first companv offering their services Avas the "Kenosha Greys" 
under the first call for T.l.OOO volunteers in April. 1861. for three months' 
st'rvice. This company, being already organized and commanded by 
r>avi(l n. Lane as Captain, tendered their services at once to the (Gov- 
ernor of the State were accepted, and mustered in as Company (4 of 
the First Wisconsin Infantry. Captain David Lane being commissioned 
as Major of the Regiment. The Company, consisting of seventy-nme 
men every man being from the County, was commanded by Donald 
C. McVean as Captain. Wm. M. Pettit. First Lieutenant, and Levi How- 
land as Second Lieutenant. 

The Regiment was hurriedly sent to the front to assist in the pro- 
tection of Washintrton. which was considered in great danger at that 
time. Tlie main battles of the war did not commence during their term 
of service and the bovs only had one opportunity of using their mus- 
kets and that was on Julv 2. ISGl. at the battle of Falling Waters. Va., 
two "being wounded. After having served nearly four months, the 
Regiment was returned to Milwaukee and mustered out. August 21. 
1801 orders were received for reorganization of the Regiment for three 
years' service. On the 28th of August the various companies were rap- 
idly recruited, organized and sent to the regimental rendezvous at 
Camp Scott. Milwaukee where the organization was perfected and 
mustered into the TTnited States' service again October 19. 1861. 

Nine days after, the Reciment left the State for active service under 
orders to report at Louisville. Ky. The Company was reorganized as 
Company E of this Regiment. Avith Donald C. McVean. Captain: Geo. E. 
Scott, First Lieutenant, and Collins C. McYean as Second Lieutenant, 
111 men from Kenosha County serving in this Company during the 

war. , „ ... 

The Resiment arrived at T>ouisville. Ky.. October 31, and from this 
date until October 8. 1862. nearly one year, was kept almost in con- 
stant motion on long and short marches from one position to another, 
occasionally taking part in skirmishes. Their first opportunity to do 
real ficliting was at Ferry ville. Ky. Arriving on the field at half-past 
one in the afternoon, they took the extreme left, supporting the Fourth 
Indiana Battery, which position they held until the horses were nearly 



all killed, ami the guns, which were manageable, were removed to a 
sale position. A part of the Regiment then charged to the front and 
captured the colors of the First Tennesee, held the enemy in oheck 
while the balance of the Regiment took by hand every remaining gun 
and caisson from the field. 

In this great l)attle the First Regiment liad 407 men engaged, of 
whom ")(> Avere killed, 120 wouikUmI. and 4 missing. L. N. De Diemar, 
of Somers. was one of the liadly wotnuh'd, losing his right arm close 
to the shoiddcr. Wni. Ilarmau. W'm. Radtke, and Orlando Wicks, of 
Kenosha, and ^^■nl. Truinl)l('. of Salem, were among the killed. 

Again they were put in motion, and constantly on the move, until 
Decendier 30, we find them at Jefferson and Stone River, victoriously 
meeting the enemy. In conseijuence of their position being placed in 
reserve, they suffered but a trifling loss in this celebrated conflict, and 
soon after encamped witliin tlie fortitications at Murfre<-sboro. January, 
ISCS. and r(Miiain«>d tliere until .luue 24. wlien tliey were put in motion 
with tlie Army of the Cuudx-rland, participating in all tlie forward 
niovcnients <rf the army on Ciiatlanooga. Tliey ascended Racoon Moun- 
tain on tile <;tli of September, encainpiug for the night on the summit. 
On tlie following day they descended on the eastern side, bivouaced 
at Johnson Cove, in the valley Ix'tween Racoon and Lookont ]Motmtain. 
where they were delayed one day. and on the 9th encamped on the 
summit of Lookout ^lountain.

battles th(> Regiment lost 25 killed. 91 wounded, and 84 missing. K. O.

nintl) Wisconsin Infantry. 

In the Ninth Wis. Infantry 32 of our boys served, among them: 
Capt. Charles Frantz, who was commissioned as Second Lieutenant, 
promoted to First Lieutenant, and again to Captain of Co. G of this 
Regiment. He was wounded at the battle of Jenliin's Ferry, and taken 
prisoner, at which time the Confederate surgeon had the honor of re- 
moving his left arm; then marching him two hundred miles in that 
condition, to Tylor, Texas, where he was held as a prisoner of war 
on tlie light refreshments of corn meal and bacon until March, 1865. 
At this time he was marched 250 miles to the mouth of the Red River, 
barefooted and hatless, to be exchanged; and still the Captain loves 
"Old Glory" to this day. 

This Regiment served principally in Kansas, Arkansas and Mis- 
souri, and met with a great deal of hard service and fighting. Lost: 
Killed, 51; died of wounds, 24; died of disease, 9G; died of accidents, 4. 



Seventeentb Wisconsin Infantry. 

In November, 18G1, Co. B of the Seventeenth Wis. Infantry was 
organized by Hugh McDermott of Kenosha, who was Captain; John E. 
Mahoney of Brightou, First Lieutenant; and John McKenna of Pleasant 
Prairie " Second Lieutenant. Sixty-four men from Kenosha County 
served in this Company. The first real battle their Company was 
engaged in was at Corinth, Tenn., where they were ordered to deploy 
as skirmishers under the command of Capt. McDermott. Shortly before 
noon the enemy succeeded in driving in our advance forces, when the 
Seventeenth was ordered to charge with the bayonet. This was gal- 
lantly executed, the enemy's line being pierced and driven from the 
field. The Regiment had 41 killed and wounded, Capt. McDermott be- 
ing among the wounded. The behavior of the Regiment was highly 
complimented on the field by the commanding General. This Company 
also participated in all the battles leading up to and the capture of 
Vicksburg, taking part on the desperate charge on May 19th. After 
they had secured a position within seventy-five yards of the enemy's 
works, they held out for nearly two hours under a heavy fire of shot 
and shell. Being unsupported on the left, they were ordered to retire. 
The Regiment suffered a loss of 45 killed and wounded. On May 22, 
the second attempt was made to carry the works by storm, and the 
Regiment lost 23 killed and wounded. From that time until the sur- 
render July 4, they were constantly employed in the performance of 
siege and fatigue d'uty in the rifle pits. This Company also took part 
in the campaign and battles leading up to the capture of Atlanta, and 
was with Sherman in his march from "Atlanta to the Sea;" also through 
the States of North and South Carolina to Richmond and Washington, 
where they took part in the Review of May 24th, 18G5, at the end of 
the war. 

During the service Capt. McDermott was promoted to Major of 
the Fiftieth Wis. Infantry and again to Lieutenant Colonel of the same 
Regiment, serving four years and seven months. Lieutenant John 
McKenna was promoted to Captain of the Company, and was mustered 
out as such, July 14, 1865. Co. B lost: Killed, 8; wounded, 13; died of 
disease, 13. 



Cwenty-Sixtl) misconsin Infantry. 

Ayain the County had the honor of being represented by 
2(j men in tlie Twenty-sixth Wis. Infantry, among whom are still living 
in the County C. F. Stemm, (Jeo. C. Limpert, Peter Wirschem, Charles 
N'ollmer. Huclolph Krioffsky, and Frederiek Joerudt, to relate the stories 
of llie hardest fought battles of the war iu which this Regiment was 
engaged. The tirst being Chaneellorsville, May 2, 18G3, where at 5 
o'clock in the afternoon the enemy iu heavy force advauced directly 
upon the position held by the Twenty-sixth, togetlier with a New York 
Regiment. Although suffering severely from the enemy's lire, they 
lield their position until there was danger of being surrounded, when 
they were ordered to retreat. During this disastrous movement the 
Regiment lost: o7 killed; WH)unded, 117; and 20 were taken prisoners. 

The next great battle was at (Jettysburg, commencing July 1, about 
iKKUi. Taking a position in the seconti line of battle in their division, 
which was dei)loyed in a wheat field a short distance northwest of 
tlie town, in half an liour the order was given to move forward, and 
after advancing two liundred yards, the tirst line was assaulted with 
great fiu'y and gave way in disorder, falling back through the second 
line, which was immediately pressed forward; the Twenty-sixtli was 
at once engaged in a lierce conliict, and after sustaining the position 
with great gallantry for a short time against the overwhehning force 
of (lie enemy on their front, they were ordered to withdraw. They 
fell liack thi-ough the town to Cemetery Hill, on which they went into 
]»(isilion behind a low stone wall. 

In this celebrated battle the losses of the Regiment were 41 killed, 
l.'iT woiuided, 2() prisoners, and (I nussing. But four of the ofticers 
escaped unlnu-t. From this time on the Regiment was moving from 
one position to another until November, 18(53, we tind them at Chat- 
tanooga. particii)ating in the movements against Mission Ridge, and 
on tlie 2.'ii'd of A])ril. 1S(>4, they were assigned to the Twentieth Army 
Cori)s. for the Spring campaign. In tlie general movements of the army 
undi-r (ieueral Sherman, they engaged in all the battles leading 
up to the caiiture of Atlanta, losing many more men killed and 
wounded. The regiment is especially mentioned in the Battle of 
I'each Tree Creek, where they captured the flag of the Thirty-third 
Mississii)pi, with 40 prisoners. The position of this Regiment was such 
tj-at the l)runt of the attack of the brigade fell upon it. The loss was 
!> killed and 3i> wounded. After expending all their ammunition, they 
wei'e relieved by fresh troops. The Brigade Commander said in his 
(illicial report, "Wliere all beliave well, it may be regarded invidious to 
call atlcntion (o individuals, yet it seems to me that I cannot discharge 
my whole duty in this report Avithout pointing out for especial com- 
mendation the condiu't of the Tw^'uty-sixtli Wis. Vol. Infantry and its 
i)rave and abl(> Commander. It is to be hoped that such conduct will 
be held up as an (>xample for others and will meet its appropriate 
reward.'" 

November 1.">, IStU. tli(> Regiment set out on the Grand March to 
the sea-coast under th(> command of (Jen. Slierman. and iiarticipated in 
the battl(»s !in<l suffei'ed the hardships of this campaign. During the last 
two campaigns the Regiment subsisted priucii)ally by foraging, and it is 
I'eixtrfed they never knew there was a scarcity of i)rovisi(>ns. On the 
f.th of .\pril. ISC.."), they heard of the capture of Richmond. Their 
march homeward was connnenced on April 30, and they arrived at 
Richmond, Va., May 8, and on the 24th of May they passed in review 
with (!en. Slwrman's army through Washington. The Brigade (Com- 
mander. (Jen. Coggswell. in an otlicial communication to the Secretary 
of AVar, speaks of this Regiment: "The Twenty-sixth Wisconsin is 
one of the finest military organizations in the service." They left 



Washington by rail Juno 13, and arrived at Milwauliee on the 17th, 
were paid off and dis1)anded oh tlie UUth of June, ISGo. Loss: Killed in 
action, 128; oU died of wounds; disease, G3, and by accidents, 2. 

Cbirty third misconsin Infantry, 

In the Thirty--third Regt. Wis. Inf., which was organized in the fall 
of 18(>2, the County was represented by two Companies, H and I, in 
which 14(5 enlisted. Fred S. Lovell of Kenosha was commissioned as 
Lieiitenant Colonel, and Christopher R. Blackall, also from Kenosha, 
was First Assistant Surgeon. Co. H was mostly recruited from the 
towns of Paris, Bristol and Salem, by Franklin Newell. Joseph F. 
Linsley of I'aris was commissioned as Captain, E. Coburn of the same 
town as First Lieutenant, and Chauncy R. Thayer of Kenosha Second 
Lieutenant. 

The commissioned otlicers of Co. I were: Walter Cook of Kenosha, 




Kenosha's Harbor. 



Captain; Carlton O. Stetson of Somers, First Lieutenant, and Geo. H. 
Nichols of Kenosha Sec(md Lieutenant. September 1st both Companies 
were ordered to bivouac in Kenoslia, Co. H being assigned to quarters 
in tlie old Durkee House on Main Street. Co. I was assigned quarters 
in a building south of Tliomas Hansen's residence, and was furnished 
rations by the Stale at a restaurant near Henry Andre's store. One of 
of the principal duties of tlie tv\o Companies was the drilling of the 
"Awkward S(iuad" either in the park or on one of the streets, which 
proved very amusing to the small boys. Hon. J. V. Quarles, now U. S. 
Senator from this St;it(>. was at that time Captain of the High School 
Cadets, and being well u]) in Hardee's tactics, gave us a few of our first 
lessons in marking time and coming to an about face. 



September 29 we were ordered to rendezvous at Camp Utley, 
Kaeiue, where we were mustered into service October 18, 18G2. We re- 
mained in camp until November 12, acquiring familiarity with regi- 
mental drill, and on that date the regiment left the State with orders 
to report at Memphis, Tenu., and was assigned to Gen. Laumau's Di- 
vision, with which we left Memphis on the 2Gth of November, with 
ten days' rations and one hundred rounds of ammunition in order to 
take part in Gen. (Jranfs hrst expedition intended for the reduction of 
Mcksburg. We proceeded by way of Holly Springs and Oxford, arriving 
at Yocona Creek December 10, at which place we were forced to make 
a retrogade movement on account of the Confederate General, Forrest, 
capturing our base of supplies at Holly Springs, thus leaving us short 
of rations luitil we arrived at Moscow, Teun., Jan. 12, 18G3, where 
we went into winter quarters under dog tents until March 10, losing 
many men by disease, at which time we were ordered to Memphis. 

April 18th we left Memphis to take pail in an expedition against 
the Confederate (ieneral. Chalmers, on Cold Water Kiver. On the 19th 
engaged the enemy, and Captain Linsley of Co. H was one of the 
kilh'd. Kcturufd lo Mcinphis on the 2od, went into camp and remained 
here until the 17th of May, when the Regiment embarked at Memphis 
to join (i rant's army at Vicksburg. Arriving at Young's Point, 
we moved up the Yazoo river the same day, to Snyder's Bluff, and 
took possession of the fortifications. We remained here until the 2r>th, 
and then moved forward and took position on the left of our entrench- 
ments, surfounding Vicksburg. For forty days we were constantly 
advancing our lines until on the day of the surrender we were within 
fifty yards of the enemy's fortitications. We left the ritle pits on the 
evening of the 4th, after the surrender, with orders to march at day- 
light on the nth, under <;en. Shei'man, to clear the country of Jolmson's 
army in our rear at lilack River and Jackson. We arrived at Jackson 
July 12, and engaged the enemy until the Kith, when tlie Confederate 
army evacuated the place during the night. We returned to Vicksburg 
July 23, and embarked at \'icksburg August 18th, for Natchez. Miss., 
returned to Vicksburg Dec. 1st, and went into winter (piarters at 
Milldale. ten miles distant. Broke camp Feb. 3d, and participated in 
the Merridean Expedition under (!en. SlH>rman, and took part in all 
the opei'ations of the army, returning on March 4th, to Hebron, having 
marched three hundred ami st'venty miles in twenty-nine days. 

On the 9th of March we left Hebron to join the ill-fated Red River 
Fxpedition, and on the llth disembarked near Siminspon, La., and 
followed the ( 'onfederati' army as they fell l)ack along the course of 
the river to Alexandi'ia, Grancl Fcore. and Sabine Cross Roads, where 
the Confederate's mafle a resistance, l)ut were defeated with heavy 
loss. We had tlie pli'asure of retreating nearly three hundre<l miles 
with the Confederate army on our heels, until we arrived at the nnnith 
of the Red River, and embarked May 22 for Memphis, where we ar- 
rived on the 30th. Here we remained until June 22, when we were 
ordered to join an expedition to Ttipelo. Miss., where the enemy was 
engaged on July 14th, and where the Federal troops were victorious. 
Arrived at Memi)his July 21, having lost G men killed and 36 
wounded. August 3 we eml)arked at Memphis and moved up White 
River to St. Charles, Arlc, and remained here until Sei>t. 1. and then 
proceeded on to Durall's Bluff and thence on to Brownsville, Ark. Here 
we remained until the 17th. and were then put in motion In pursuit 
of the rebel (Jeneral, Price, arriving at Cape Girardeau, Mo.. Oct. 5, 
having marched 324 miles, built two bridges and forded four rivers, 
in nineteen days, with only ten days' rations. 

Fml»arking at Cape (Jirardeau, Mo., on the 7th of Octol)er, Ave as- 
cended the Mississippi River to St. Louis, and without landing the 
men. we were supplied witli clothing and eipilpments, preparatory to 



a campaign up the Missouri River. Leaving St. Louis on tlie 
11th, we passed up tlie Missouri River to Jefferson City, arriving on the 
]5tli, disembarked and went forward to Lamiue Bridge on tlie Pacific 
Road, whicli liad been destroj^ed by (i!en. Price's forces. Again we took 
a forced marcli on tlie 22d, arriving at Warrensburg on the 2-lth, and 
remained here until Nov. 1, Avhen we were ordei'ed back to St. Louis, 
as a guard to a body of rebel prisoners, numbering, perhaps, (500. From 
there we went to Benlon Barracks, where we were re-equipped for an 
active campaign on the 12th. On the 23d, we embarked at St. Louis, 
under orders to reinforce the army under (Jen. Thomas at Nashville. 
We arrived here on the 30th, and took position on the extreme right of 
the army, which was occupied in strengthening the works. December 
15th was the first day of battle. The Thirty-third moved out from the 




Kenosha County Court House. 



position on the Ilnrdin Pike and were held in reserve until 3 P. M., 
when they charged a body of the enemy posted on the Granny White 
Pike between two stone walls. 280 prisoners were captured, and on 
the 16th we were ordered to support the Twenty-third Corps, when a 
general advance was ordered; it resulted in a bitter rout of the enemy. 
December 17th commenced the march on the track of the demoral- 
ized enemy, which was kept up until they were driven across the Ten- 
nesee River. During this march many of the men were barefooted, and 



all suffered great hardships. On the 2nd of January, 1SG5, we camped 
at Clifton, Tenu., from here we accompanied a reconnaissance to East- 
port, and llicu to Corinth, Miss., on the 18th. Here they dislodged 
Iloss' rel)el lirigade after a sliarp skirmish. We returned to Eastport

landed, and went into camp. Ke-eml)arken on the 20tli, continuing 
down the river, and landed at New Orleans, and camped at ('halmette 
upon the Held of battle at New Orleans. 

On the 11th of March we were ordered to take part in an expe- 
dition against Si)anisli Fort, ))efore which tlie Regiment arrived March 
2Tth, having driven tlie enemy into entrenchments. The next night, 
the regiment establislied a position within one hundred and tifty yards 
of the fort, whicl) distance was diminished to 125 yards by April 2, 
which was the nearest approacli to the rebel works. From this time on

Cbirty ninth Wisconsin Infantry. 

Ag.'iiii in the 'fliirty-niiit li Wis. Infantry, a Kto d.-iys' regiment, the 
County was represented l>y one full Company of !r2 m(>n, and was com- 
m.'inded Ity Robert (Jraham, .1. V. Qutirles, First Lieutenant, and Horace 
A. (Jaylord. Second Lieutenant. Tliis Comiiany was made u]) largely 
of young men ;ind l)oys. wliose ;ige had i>revent(Ml them from going 
into the .sei'vice. .\!;iiiy of tliem liad Iteen trying liard for one or two 
years previous to this lime, l)ut could not obtain tlie consent of their 



parents. But when this call came, the boys said, "This is our opportun- 
ity," and ruslied to their parents with persuasive argument that it was 
only for 100 days, and tliey would soon be home again, and this in most 
cases won the desired consent. 

Another class in tliis Regiment was the old men who were past 
tlie age for military duty. This call was made when the government 
was badly in need of fresli troops and reinforcements, and wanted them 
at once to assist in keei)ing open our line of communication, and pro- 
tect and guard points tiiat had been weakened l)y the withdrawal of 




Kenosha High School. 



troops to aid (leneral Sherman in his great campaign in Tennessee and 
(Georgia, and to take care of the Confederate Gen. Price, who was at 
tliat time making a destructive raid through xlrkansas and Missouri 
with his army. You can imagine the patriotic response the boys gave 
this call, wiien tlie enlistments only commenced in the latter part of 
May, 18<)4, the Regiment was organized and left Camp Washburn, Mil- 
waukee, June 13, ready for service, and arrived at Mempliis, Tenn., 
June 17, 1804, inside of thirty days, and were assigned to the Third 
Brigade. 



The Regiment was placed in eanip within the lines and employed 
principally in garrison, picket and railroad guard duty, and partici- 
Ijated occasionally in skirmishes on the picket line and severe fatigue 
duty. 

on the morning of the 21st of August, Gen. Forrest, with about 
5,000 Cavalrymen made a dash upon the city at daylight and succeeded 
at one point in passing through the lines. The Thirty-ninth was 
promptly hurried to the front and in the action which ensued, behaved 
gallantly, sustaining light loss. The rebels soon retired, and the 
Thirty-ninth returned to camp in the afternoon. The 100 days did not 
seem long to the l)oys, but to the anxious fathers and mothers it was 
very different. 

I would especially mention one of the boys who had been anxious 
to go to the front previous to this call, but on account of his age, and 
being the only one left at liouie, he had been persuaded to remain. 
But when this call came, he said, "Mother, I must go; it is only KM) 
days." He went, and while his mother was counting the days, one 
by one, at home, awaiting his return, he was serving his country faith- 
fully and attending to every duty he was called upon to perform. 
About the last day, when we Avere ordered home to be mustered out, 
he was stricken with that almost fatal disease, typhoid fever, and ar- 
rived at liome only in time to die. It was a hard 100 days for that 
father and mother, and they never ceased to mourn tor the loss they 
had sustained as long as they lived. 

In order to show how the services of the 100 day regiment were 
appreciated, of which A\'isconsin sent three regiments to the front, 
the President, Abraham Lincoln, issued the following certificate of 
thanks to every otticer and enlisted man. 

THE PKESIDENT'iS THANKS AND CERTIFICATE OF 
HONORABLE SERVICE. 

To The Thii'ty-nintli Regiment, Wis. Vol. Infantry. 

Whereas, the President of the Ignited States has made the follow- 
ing executive order, returning thanks to the Volunteers, for one hundred

The term of 100 days, for which N'olunteers from tlie States of 
Indiana. Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, under the call of their respective 
Govi-rnors in the months of May and June to aid in the recent cam- 
paign of (len. Sherman having expired, the President directs an 
Official Acknowledgment to be made of their Patriotic Service. It 
was their good fortune to render Efficient Service, in the Brilliant 
Operations in the Southwest, and to contribute to the victories of tlie 
National Arms, over the rebel forces in Georgia, under the command 
of Johnson and Hood. On all occasions and in every service to w^hich 
they were assigned, their duty as Patriotic Volunteers was performed 
with alacrity and courage, for which they were entitled to and are 
hereby tendered, the National Thanks, through the Governors of their

The objects to be aeconiplished by this organization are as follows: 

First, to preserve and strengthen tliose liiud and fraternal feelings 
which bind together the soldiers and marines who united to suppress 
the late rebellion, and to perpetuate the memory and history of the 
dead. 

Second, to assist such former comrades in arms as need help and 
protection,\ and to extend needful aid to the widows and orphans of 
those who have fallen.

C<:ri)s. and iroui ils earliest existence have endeavored to be a real 
auxiliary to the Crand Army of the Pei)ublic, co-operating as best 
they could with all plans of the comrades. In 1801 the Post and Cor])s 
liresenled the IJigh Sclio(d, St. .lames' and St. (Jeorge Scluiol with 
Hags. 

The Corps also presented a beautiful silk banner and Hag to the 
F. S. Povell Post. In Ai)ril, 181)4, the Corps presented the I'ost with a 
flag to be used in the cemetery, and in 1S98 a beautiful silk, flag was 
presented to Co. P, 1st Regiment of the State Militia. 

Xo service is complete without its four color bearers. The large 
silk Hags are always saluted by the members in all the meetings of 
the ordei-. never forgetting that is the same dear flag that Inspired the 
old comrades on marches, .lud on the battle field, giving us the peace 
and prospei'ily we enjoy to-day.

persistently and earnestly than do the women of the W. R. C. This 
comes from the true womanly heart, loyal to the call of the helpless. 
Corps No. 41 has extended its deeds of helpfulness to many outside of 
their definite line of worlc. Their general fund has often helped the 
needy in our midst. 

During the last eleven years the Fred S. Lovell Corps has spent 
over .$3,000 in cash for relief alone. Flowers have been sent at every 
opportunity. How sweet is the love they bring! Wlietlier in the me- 
morial wreath or boiiquet for the graves of those who sleep in the 
silent toml) or for the sick or bereaved, these beautiful tokens of God's 
love carry witli them tlie motto for which we are banded together. 
Fraternity. Charity and Loyalty. 

The Avork of Corps No. 41 has not all been done in our own city. 
The Veterans' Home at Waupaca has received many donations, and 
the Kenosha Cottage has l)een cared for. Tlie new liospital. the cliapel. 
and all other calls liave been carefully guarded, and lil)erally remem-
